I thought it is interesting to note the vibe shift on HN between first election, his 2nd try and now. ( Although not specific to election but how the political shift of HN has changed from 2008 to now )
The 2nd obvious observation is that HN now manage to fit 9435!!!! comments ( and counting ) in a single page. I downloaded it and it was ~18MB or 2.7MB zipped. And Arc is now Clarc and works on multiple core. I guess this thread is a huge battle ground for further optimisation. I also wonder if this is the most comment HN thread.
